#NewRelease: Hand of Fatima by Myrna Sokoloff @Myrna888

I
grew up in the beautiful suburb of Westport Connecticut. After Boston
University, I moved to New York City. In Manhattan I spent time in many
political campaigns as fundraiser and writer. New York was a Democratic
town. We never fought with Republicans, we fought with each other! It
was exciting and I thought I was making a contribution. When I moved to
California, my connections helped me transistion into the political
world in LA.

September
11th, 2001, changed me and I had to re-evaluate my politics. I used to
work in lower Manhattan and saw on TV the streets and buildings covered
with dust and so many people killed in an instant. In LA, I volunteered
for the USO at LAX and watched Marines from Camp Pendleton fly out to
their next training base. I also served an Army Family Readiness unit
near me.I called families of deployed soldiers to check if they needed
anything and helped with the Army Christmas parties for the kids. It
didn't seem enough. I had to find another way to express my ideas and
support the troops. I made political commercials and wrote articles.

In 2008 I was the co-writer and executive producer of the political comedy feature 'An American Carol'

I decided to write my first novel 'Hand of Fatima'
because I was angry about the lies surrounding Benghazi, the terrorist
attack that occurred in 2012. The four men that died that day had
families and friends who loved them. Our leaders acted as if it was a
political mess to get passed and forgotten. The novel is a thriller
about terrorism and how it affects real people.

It
had been a year since the sealed casket of Holly's beloved husband Jake had
been flown from the war zone to Dover Air Force Base with an honor guard. The
American flag and the music didn't lesson the agony of his death for her.

Nobody
ever told Holly what had really happened on that classified mission in Helmand
Province, Afghanistan.

The
painful memory of his death came crashing in on her when Alex, a former
special-warfare operator, approached her on a clear autumn day. Alex and his
teammate TJ had been wounded on the same raid with Jake.

These
tough wounded warriors were determined to find out the facts, but they knew for
sure that the SEALS had been betrayed.

By
uncovering the treacherous truth about the Helmand mission, this group of
patriots and their friends discover an even more sinister plot that will put
the country in danger . . . and it leads straight to the White House.

Who am I?

I write romance. I read romance. I talk, tweet, blog, and email romance. I don't sleep romance because even my brain needs to shut off now and then. If you suffer from this affliction, join in the discussion!
